Happy Birthday

The only enjoyment of being Green,I should say,is being able to watch a lot of VCDs & DVD.

My bunk borrowed a few last week and one of them happens to be this chinese movie,Happy Birthday.
It's a Rene Liu and Louis Koo movie.
Not really high-profile,not exactly mainstream I would say.

I remembered,I wanted to watch this movie badly.
But being a poor lonely green man with no girls to go out with and being totally homophobic about watching it with a guy,I missed it.

The reception in my bunk when we watched this is pure baddd.
I guess you can't stick a slow-moving romantic tragedy in a place where half-naked men roam.
Everyone started to fall asleep except me.

So,I brought it home.
I just watched it.
Oh man,it's such a sad movie.
One of those movies where you look back and yes,you remembered it's great,sad and totally makes you all goosebumpy.

A little blackmail-worthy secret:I think I had wanted to cry a little.

It's an easy story about two people.
They were lovers but distance drifted them apart.
But when they see each other,there's just this emotional and physical attachment to one another.
I have to say the intimate scenes were so telepathic I did replay it twice.
But there's just this utter refusal to commit between the two of them.
I feel that this is so real.
There's always an unspoken trap that will entangle two people together yet drift them miles apart.
A kinda like an emotional misunderstanding that makes it all so sad and you wanna go into the movie and be the middleman and just fucking explain to them what's up.
I guess the girl wanted the guy to be more commital,yet she doesn't know that she is the only girl he will be commited to.

The guy character is kinda like a chick magnet.
But he's always there for the girl. Like wherever,that girl will forever have this exclusive corner in his heart.
Even when he's attached to some bitch or whatever,the girl is always special to him.
Therefore the title,he wishes her every damn year.
Singing the song to her in a rather humorous out-of-pitch way in her Voicemail which makes it all the more sweet,in a silly way.

The girl is kinda dependant emotionally.
I guess she is insecure in nature.
And this guy just always fills it all up for her,always seems to be in her presence even if he is not there.

Then something happened,which makes the guy seem like a big ass jerk and they never contacted each other much again,but always,every year,a Happy Birthday SMS.
And the girl seems to be waiting for this SMS every year. Nothing matters more.

Then one particular year.
The SMS came late.

Then goosebumps came over me and then the truth unfolds and then I want to fucking sob like a little bitch and then I'm writing this to make myself remember this moment and then now the theme song is also so sad when the show ends it fits perfectly oh damnn dammnn damnnnn!

Then now I need to feed my saddened soul by going out for dinner.

Watch this show!
Damn good!
